First Four Trimesters Online of a Doctor of Chiropractic

Parker University is offering the first four trimesters online of a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC). Students will complete the remaining six trimesters of the ten trimester program on-campus based at Parker in Dallas, Texas. The program is accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education and Parker University is RA by SACSCOC.

The basic science online, then clinicals face-to-face split is similar to the offer I posted about in 2022 of the first year online of a four year Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) program from National University of Natural Medicine.

 

It probably is a nice option for some people. I have Googled YouTube videos of Dave Ramsey and he not infrequently ends up with super in debt chiropractors calling in. The problem is they have medical school style that but without the same earning potential at least initially. He said something like he notices a couple of types of chiropractors. Ones that are good at marketing and doing okay and those that are starving.

I also read on chiropractor boards discussions from spouses who aren't particularly happy about earning potential post graduation.

I did discern there are similar problems though not identical with podiatric medicine in terms of new graduates.
